A recent stroke of luck for a devoted Final Fantasy fan has sent ripples through the gaming community. While browsing a local game store, the enthusiast made a startling discovery: a pristine, sealed copy of Final Fantasy 4 Advance. This unexpected find is a rarity in the gaming world, especially for a title as popular and well-known as a Final Fantasy installment.

The Game Boy Advance era marked a significant period for the Final Fantasy series. Square Enix brought classic titles to the handheld console, introducing new content and features for longtime fans. The system also hosted the tactical RPG Final Fantasy Tactics, a departure from the series' traditional active time battle system.

Thrilled by their discovery, Reddit user Salt-Entertainment91 shared images of the unopened game on the GBA subreddit. The post quickly gained traction, with fellow gamers expressing astonishment and envy. The user revealed purchasing the game for approximately $100, a premium price compared to loose cartridges but justified by the pristine condition. Many commenters suggested holding onto the sealed copy, as its value could potentially increase over time due to its rarity.

Final Fantasy 4 has enjoyed numerous re-releases throughout the years, including a 3D remake for the Nintendo DS and Steam. More recently, Square Enix's Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters brought the classic games to modern platforms with updated visuals and gameplay mechanics. However, the discovery of a sealed copy of the Game Boy Advance version remains a unique and exciting find for any collector.
